- W4200218902 abstract "Despite compelling evidence that SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are highly effective in preventing COVID-19 infections, breakthrough cases have been emerging at an increasing rate.1Bergwerk M Gonen T Lustig Y et al.COVID-19 breakthrough infections in vaccinated health care workers.N Engl J Med. 2021; 385: 1474-1484Crossref PubMed Scopus (836) Google Scholar A retrospective cohort study by Tartof and colleagues2Tartof SY Slezak JM Fischer H et al.Effectiveness of mRNA BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine up to 6 months in a large integrated health system in the USA: a retrospective cohort study.Lancet. 2021; 398: 1407-1416Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (668) Google Scholar found that vaccine effectiveness against COVID-19 decreased over time; however, its effectiveness against hospitalisation associated with COVID-19 remained robust, with no apparent reduction in vaccine effectiveness between 1 month (87%) and 5 months (88%) after vaccination with the BNT162b2 vaccine. Although most breakthrough COVID-19 cases are mild or moderate in severity,3Team CC-VBCI COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections reported to CDC–United States, January 1–April 30, 2021.MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2021; 70: 792-793Crossref PubMed Google Scholar severe cases and deaths have been reported. In this Comment, we describe the shift in the landscape of severe COVID-19 requiring hospitalisation in a health system with high regional vaccination rates, whereby 90·9% of individuals aged 65–74 years and 85·6% of those aged 75 years and older are fully vaccinated as of Oct 17, 2021.4Connecticut Open DataCOVID-19 Vaccinations by Age Group.https://data.ct.gov/Health-and-Human-Services/COVID-19-Vaccinations-by-Age-Group/vjim-iz5eDate accessed: October 17, 2021Google Scholar We conducted a systematic review of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed by PCR test, who were hospitalised at the Yale New Haven Health System (New Haven, CT, USA) between Aug 4 and Oct 12, 2021, during which time the SARS-CoV-2 delta (B.1.617.2) variant accounted for over 95% of COVID-19 cases in the region.5COVID TrackerConnecticut SARS-CoV-2 variant surveillance–report 2021-10-28.https://covidtrackerct.com/variant-surveillance/Date accessed: October 29, 2021Google Scholar Among 371 patients admitted with a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR test, 129 (35%) were fully vaccinated at the time of hospitalisation. 222 (60%) patients met the criteria for being severely or critically ill with COVID-19 during their hospitalisation, among whom 82 (37%) were fully vaccinated. Overall, a much larger proportion of patients hospitalised with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test had severe or critical breakthrough COVID-19 during this period (82 [22%] of 371 patients) than was reported in the same health-care system between March 23 to July 1, 2021 (14 [1%] of 969 patients), when the delta variant accounted for less than 20% of COVID-19 cases in the region.5COVID TrackerConnecticut SARS-CoV-2 variant surveillance–report 2021-10-28.https://covidtrackerct.com/variant-surveillance/Date accessed: October 29, 2021Google Scholar, 6Juthani PV Gupta A Borges KA et al.Hospitalisation among vaccine breakthrough COVID-19 infections.Lancet Infect Dis. 2021; 21: 1485-1486Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (102) Google Scholar Additionally, evaluation of time to COVID-19 from the date of final vaccine dose showed a marked rise in the frequency of severe breakthrough cases with an increasing number of days since completed vaccination (appendix p 1). Among the patients with severe or critical COVID-19, the age distribution of patients with breakthrough infections was skewed towards older age groups (mean age 71·5 years) compared with those who were unvaccinated (55·2 years; appendix p 2). Furthermore, underlying comorbidities—including cardiovascular and lung disease, type 2 diabetes, history of malignancy, and baseline use of immunosuppressive medications—were more prevalent in patients with breakthrough infections than in those who were unvaccinated (appendix p 3). Despite these differences, which could potentially portend worse clinical outcomes for the patients with severe breakthrough COVID-19, we observed a shorter mean duration of hospitalisation (10·8 days vs 13·1 days), lower risk of advanced oxygen or ventilatory support (26 [32%] of 82 vs 72 [51%] of 140 patients), and lower in-hospital mortality (eight [10%] vs 17 [12%] patients) among patients with breakthrough COVID-19 than among those who were unvaccinated. The shifting landscape of breakthrough COVID-19 cases is likely to involve multiple factors, including demonstrated waning of antibody response after full vaccination7Levin EG Lustig Y Cohen C et al.Waning immune humoral response to BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine over 6 months.N Engl J Med. 2021; (published online Oct 6)https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa2114583Crossref Scopus (933) Google Scholar, 8Chemaitelly H Tang P Hasan MR et al.Waning of BNT162b2 vaccine protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection in Qatar.N Engl J Med. 2021; (published online Oct 6.)https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa2114114Crossref Scopus (469) Google Scholar and emergence of variant strains of SARS-CoV-2. The differences in the incidence of breakthrough cases based on vaccine type is of interest and will need further investigation. The accelerating trend of breakthrough COVID-19 cases with time since vaccination highlight the important need for booster vaccinations, especially given emerging data supporting their efficacy,9Bar-On YM Goldberg Y Mandel M et al.Protection across age groups of BNT162b2 vaccine booster against COVID-19.medRxiv. 2021; (published online Oct 7.)
